Do you think there is asbestos in the building where your office premises are currently located? If so and you live in Sydney, Australia, you probably also know that, by law, you do have to get your offices tested for asbestos as soon as you possibly can.

Of course, asbestos testing can sometimes take time. Time that you may not have if you are worried about having asbestos contamination that may affect the health of you and your employees. That is why you should make sure you get asbestos testing done fast and accurately. Here is how to do just that.

Get quotes from several companies -- You can get free quotes from asbestos testing companies over the telephone or via their websites. Get at least five quotes, so you have an idea of the going rate.

Contact each company and ask about availability -- You want to know how available each company is when it comes to getting the asbestos testing you need in a timely manner. After all, there is no point even considering a company that cannot come and do the job for a month or two.

Get time lines and make a note of the ones that can get to you the quickest.

Choose companies with a fast turnaround -- While some companies can test your office premises for asbestos and get you the results quickly, others take a few days or even a week or more to give you the results.

Choose a company that has a turnaround of 24 to 48 hours. That way you do not have to sit and worry for days on end about the ramifications of having asbestos in your Sydney offices. If you have it you will know quickly, and then you can do something about it.
